Preinstallation Requirements
Using J2 Series Rotors in the Avanti J-26S XPI
The rotor pins are positioned parallel to the
Beckman
name engraved at the center of the rotor body
). Knowing the pin orientation before you install the rotor will help to ensure that
you position the rotor properly on the hub, minimizing the chance of hub damage.
Check all J2 series rotors for drive pins before using them in an Avanti J series centrifuge and do not use
rotors without drive pins in the Avanti J-26S XPI
. To check for drive pins, hold the rotor up or turn it
on its side and look into the drive hole. If you do not see two metal pins in the hole, do not use the
rotor in the Avanti J-26S XPI. Call your local Beckman Coulter office
*
for information on returning
the rotor to the factory for upgrading.
Using the JA-18 Rotor
In Avanti J series centrifuges, the JA-18 rotor must be run with the lid attached. See the JA-18 rotor
manual (publication J-TB-035) for complete rotor usage instructions.
Using the JCF-Z Continuous Flow/Zonal Rotor
Zonal Bracket Kits
A special bracket and mounting hardware are required when the JCF-Z Continuous Flow/Zonal
Rotor is used. These parts are contained in the Zonal Bracket Kit (part number 366431). The Zonal
Bracket Kit includes a bracket, mounting hardware, and assembly instructions. This kit is for use
with Cole-Parmer tubing size 16 (6.4 mm [
1
/4-in.] O.D.), the tubing size most commonly used with
the JCF-Z rotor.
Two additional kits are available, one which contains adapters for size 14 tubing (4.8 mm [
3
/16-in.]
O.D.) and one which contains adapters for size 15 tubing (9.6 mm [
3
/8-in.] O.D.). If you wish to
use either of these sizes of tubing, you will need to purchase one of these kits in addition to the
basic kit (366431).

numbers and kit contents.
Ensuring Correct JCF-Z Continuous Flow/Zonal Rotor Identification
The centrifuge’s rotor identification system can, under two specific conditions, misidentify the
JCF-Z continuous flow/zonal rotor. These conditions and corrective actions are listed below.
NOTE
JCF-Z rotors manufactured after March, 1997, contain special magnets that ensure correct rotor
identification in Avanti J series centrifuges. We recommend that older JCF-Z rotors be returned to
the Beckman Coulter factory for addition of the magnets before use in the Avanti J-26S XPI. Call
Beckman Coulter Field Service* for more information.
